Twitter reacts to World Cup draw, with England facing Scotland as Three Lions get easy group

The draw to decide the European groups for World Cup qualification was on Saturday, and it had people talking all over the globe.

England ended up with a a group containing Slovenia, Malta, Slovakia, Lithuania, and old rivals Scotland. The draw appears to make qualification for the tournament a formality, with the Three Lions expected to beat those teams at a canter.

However, other sides had it far tougher. The Netherlands, France, and Sweden were all put in to the same group, meaning at least one of the three will miss out on the competition. First place in each group qualifies, while second has to take part in a play-off, which will be a nervy affair for the teams involved.

Wales and Ireland were also drawn together, but with Austria, Serbia, Moldova, and Georgia the other sides in their group both sides have a real chance of making it to the World Cup.
